Guild Wars 2

I bought the new Thresher-Sickle, delighted to give it to my asura since I’ve made him a “golemancer” and the sickle would be perfect for him. However, he already has a Consortium Harvesting Sickle, but I figured I could toss that off to another character, judging that it’d be account bound like the Thresher. I was quite disappointed to find that the Consortium Sickle was soulbound.

Now in hindsight I remember that I soulbound the thing, but if the new permanent harvesting tools are account bound (I have the watchwork pick as well so I know that’s the case) why are the old one still soulbound? Wouldn’t it make more sense to make those account bound as well? Is there a reason why they’re not?

I tried searching for the subject here but the search bar came up completely empty for something as simple as “sickle”, so I don’t trust the thing. If this has been answered before I’d appreciate if someone pointed me in the right direction ^^

You can un equip the sickle and go to a black lion weapon specialist to exchange it for an account bound tool. So yay for that

Just make sure the soulbound tool is in your inventory. The npc will give you the option.

The first set of tools were originally Soulbound, but when the next few became Account Bound they added a way to convert your old tools back in November.

When the tool is in your inventory, you go to the Black Lion Weapon Specialist: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Weapons_Specialist. They will give you a new Account Bound Consortium Harvesting Sickle

Alright, sweet! Thanks guys ^^
